Kobo to Kobo: Transfering Hacks Doubts

Hi everyone,

Can you please clear some fog I have regarding Kobo to Kobo transfers?


1) Can I swap the internal uSD card of two different devices, and so transfer my sideloaded books and highlights into a new device? I did this successfully already with two Kobo GLOs... but would this work between different models, too? Specifically, will I be able to instal the uSD of a Kobo Glo into the slot of a Glo HD, or Clara HD, and see my old device's book and highlights into the new one?

2) Should I prefer to not physically swap the cards, could I instead, use the USB image tool, in order to be able to do the following:
- Backup old Kobo Glo books, highlights and stats
- Flash all Kobo Glo books, highlights and stats into Kobo Clara HD uSD

3) Should I want to bake my Kobo Glo's books & highlights into a Kobo Libra HD (AFAIK Libra does NOT have a uSD), will this solution work? 4) And would it work with the Elipsa, too?


I am shopping around for a new(ish) ereader, and ease of transfer may play a role.

I have read and advanced searched as much as I could, but sorry if this has already been mentioned before.

New user here, so thank you so much for having me... reading so many posts have helped me so much already
